- Question
- Answer
- Side 3

- Nasal septum
- bony & cartilaginous wall separating the two nasal cavities
- Superior concha (coverd by mucosa)
- on lateral nasal wall, superior to mid. concha
- Middle concha (covered by mucosa)
- on lateral nasal wall, superior to inf. concha
- Inferior concha (covered by mucosa)
- on lateral nasal wall, inferior to mid. concha
- Superior meatus
- space betw/ sup.concha & lateral nasal wall
- Middle meatus
- space betw/ mid. concha & lat. nasal wall
- Inferior meatus
- space betw/ inf. concha & lat. nasal wall
- Vestibule of the nose
- area just inside the nostrils
- Atrium
- area of nasal cavity superior to vestibule
- Nasolacrimal duct opening
- opens in the ant part of the inf. meatus
- Hiatus semilunaris
- semi-circular groove in mid. meatus inferior to ethmoidal bulla
- ethmoidal infundibulum
- most anterior part of hiatus semilunaris
- Ethmoidal bulla
- elevated “mound” of mucosa just superior to hiatus semilunaris. It has an opening for the middle ethmoidal air cell drainage
- Frontal sinus
- in frontal bone, superior to nasal cavity
- Sphenoid sinus
- in body of sphenoid bone, superior to nasopharynx
- Ethmoidal air cells
- lateral to the cribifrom plate, medial to the orbits, lateral to the lat. wall of the superior meatus
- Nasopharynx
- pharynx immediately posterior to nasal cavities down to soft palate (uvula)
- Oropharynx
- pharynx between soft palate (uvula) and epiglottis
- Laryngopharynx
- pharynx from epiglottis to esophagus
- Uvula of soft palate
- “tongue-like” projection hanging down from the soft palate in the midline
  *landmark for the divisions of the pharynx
- Epiglottis
- “tongue-like” cartilaginous projection located posterior to the posterior tongue; forms anterior wall of laryngeal inlet
  *landmark for the divisions of the pharynx
- Opening of the auditory tube
- in nasopharynx, inferior to torus tubarius
- Torus tubarius
- elevated ridge of mucosa, superior to auditory tube opening
- Salpingopharyngeal fold
- fold of mucosa extending inferiorly from torus tubarius
- Pharyngeal recess
- area just post. to salpingopharyngeal fold
- Pharyngeal tonsil location
- in the mucosa of the roof of the nasopharynx, just inferior to body of sphenoid
- Palatopharyngeal fold (arch)
- extends from soft palate to pharynx
- Palatoglossal fold (arch)
- extends from soft palate to tongue
- Tonsilar bed
- between palatopharyngeal & palatoglossal folds
- Posterior tongue
- just anterior to the oropharynx; is the “roughened” post. 1/3rd of the tongue
- Lingual tonsils
- forms the “rough” bumps on the post. 1/3rd of the tongue
- Epiglottis
- mucosa-covered cartilage forming anterior wall of laryngeal inlet (or aditus or opening); has a “tongue-like” appearance
- Laryngeal aditus or opening or inlet
- opening of larynx posterior to epiglottis
- Piriform recess
- space in pharynx just lateral to laryngeal inlet
